How many and which changes should a freshman do?

A fresh graduates brings with him dreams. Not all dreams may come true.
Some of the dreams even does not have to come true.

How to decide which ones are worth to be lived and which not? A little thinking and some try and error.
There are two types of try and error. When you try big and you can make a difference and when you try small and don't risk to much.
Depending on your personality, you can assume the risk to try big and have a quantum leap. You dont think too much, simply you implement your dream!
Or, you take a small instance of your dream and try to apply in a controlled environment. Then, you can make an analysis and decide.
So, if you are an young programmer and you would like to make a change, think for a moment which type are you. If you can cope with risk and failure quite well, than try big changes. Even you are tough guy, don't do it so often. Imagine the context switching lag in your life, you might loose too much time in context switching.
If you are a guy who really likes to plan his life, than think twice and experiment without changing everything at once.

See you in next assignment!
